would you pay to go?

[redcrx]

Ive got to come up with a pressie for a friends 40th. I have seen a good deal on paintballing on groupon and could book for him and 9 guests to go for a day, something which i know he would enjoy.
anyway, i can only afford the basic package and it would mean that extra ammo would have to be bought at a further £25 approx each.
Now im wondering if his mates would feel annoyed at having to cough up the money.
so, what i want to know is, would you go to such a birthday or would you be annoyed at having to pay for extras and refuse to go?

I would pay. If you went to a party you would have to bring alcohol, or in a pub you would pay for drinks too. £25.00 isn't that much really.

[ummmm]

That wouldn't bother me at all....

[jackthehat]

I wouldn't be annoyed, but I might be embarrassed in these straightened times that I couldn't really afford to pay the 'extras'......and make an excuse to avoid the outing.

[cathfromsaron]

why not phone round and get EVERYONE to put in something to start with, if they want to come? x

[redcrx]

i havnt called around because this is our birthday present to him. It would still pay for a couple of hours of ammo for the others, and also their lunch. Plus, it would be for the birthday guy to invite the friends of his choice.

[redcrx]

thanks jack, for your honesty.
red, Ive never been, its not my thing, though i'd expect to pay for say treatments if a friend had a spa day.

[ummmm]

Will they have notice?

[redcrx]

yes, they will. He will be given a voucher to book it when he wants to.

[ummmm]

No worries then. He'll know who to invite and how much notice some might need to put a few quid aside if things are tight.

Nice present btw :-)

I wouldn't be annoyed but having never been paint balling and also never particularly wanting to give it go, I would probably not want to pay the extra £25 to do it as I would think that is quite expensive and I don't think I could justify the expense at the moment for something I am not really interested in. Plus I would probably have already brought the person a present for around that amount so it would be like spending extra to me.

I guess it depends on the financial situation of everybody else attending really.

[redcrx]

ah well, i have booked it now lol

[lankeela]

Contact the others and tell them the basic package is booked, with the option for individuals to take extra ammo if they wish.

[redcrx]

i would lankeela, if i had any idea who he may invite lol. Mr CRX will no doubt be invited and he already knows he has to pay the extra.
